"That's how we worked from day one. That's our band - we occupy our own space in it all."

Meanwhile, Serge's bandmate Tom Meighan claimed recently that Kasabian's new album probably saved his life.

The 36-year-old musician has admitted that the group's latest record helped lift his mood after his girlfriend Kim - who is also the mother of his daughter Mimi - left him in 2016.

Tom explained: "This album probably saved my life. I just needed that back. I'm alright now and this record just f***ing saved me."

Serge also admitted his bandmate needed the new album in order to lift his spirits.

The guitarist shared: "I sort of rang Tom from nowhere and said 'I've got the record' and he was like 'what do you mean?' Later I realised later that part of me might have been like 'we need to do this record so Tom has somewhere to be'. He heard the tunes and he was like 'ah man I get this, I'm in, let's go'.

"Sometimes you have great times and sometimes you don't. Now Tom is better than ever."
